OpenGL texture with COpenGLPlayer

Playing some more with this Tweak OpenGL hack, and mixing in Tobias
Germer's GLSL support for Croquet, I now have some simple shaders
running.  Hooray!

As a simple next step, I actually tried to do something that I didn't
just copy and assimilate, and of course it doesn't work.  I'm
wondering if there is something fundamentally wrong with what I'm
trying.

Borrowing part of the NeHe tutorial number 6, I have added texture
coordinates to the simple cube geometry so that I can access those
coordinates in the vertex and fragment shaders as the basis for a
procedural texture like the simple example towards the bottom of the
page at
http://croquetconsortium.org/index.php/Procedural_Texturing

The main thing that I'm wondering about is: can I use the texture
coordinates without there being any actual texture anywhere?  Since
the color produced in the fragment shader is entirely calculated
within the shader, there is no need for an actual texture as far as I
am concerned, but will OpenGL let me do this?

Also, I would like to make Tobias Germer's GLSL support available
again, along with the FBO support that I put together, but these
OpenGL extensions are structured as changeSets and I don't think they
would work well as Monticello packages, so how should I make them
available?  I think I asked Josh about this once before; I'll have to
go dig out his answer ...

When I make them available, these OpenGL extensions may conflict with
other similar development that is being done, so use them at your own
risk ;-)

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Yes.

Just publish an updated Monticello package.

Thanks for your quick reply!

Not having the code in front of me here at work, I don't have the
proper name, but I'm assuming you mean the package that has the OpenGL
class and methods in it.

Hhmm.  I notice in the SDK that the OpenGL class is back in the
category OpenGL-OpenGL and that all the good stuff is therefore in the
Monticello package OpenGL, including the pool dictionaries.  This was
split out into OpenGL-Pools and OpenGL-Core at one time.  So to fix
this either a Monticello package named OpenGL-OpenGL should be added
and saved in the proper repository, or the category OpenGL-OpenGL
should be renamed to OpenGL-Core, right?  Which is the right thing?
